crises was, every single connection mapped out shows the geopolitical reality. beyond the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world now on youtube, the those links where me and others who would use it to a 2 on foot site. we've never had this many people before. it's coming for me. i feel like donkey hotel fighting windmills and places where i cook. alexandra exxon's, a line looks after people living on the margins of society. yep, cool. but i hear a lot of people say they feel bothered by the side of beckers. but how is that possible and that's fine. but what bothers me is that we allow this people sleeping outside and sub 0 temperatures from what,

what alexander has during the fight against luck, some birds, new poverty. and for people like sailors who can't find an affordable place to live . interesting. so i'm angry with the government because they don't do anything to that to a fee. they do a lot of talking to people like spending 210000000 on new apartments button. where are they? what is the luxembourg? a financial hub and home to accomplish shel companies along with the european court of justice in the grand duchy re one in

15 residents is a millionaire. in the shadows of the fancy stores and office buildings lies the home of stefan and fit in pretty good. alexandra met the 2 hun, gary and man on the street and is determined to help them step on and see it and live under a bridge together with their dogs, chilly and p. they've been here for 7 years now. temperatures are expected to drop to minus 7 tonight, but that doesn't seem to bother them much. because i have a lamp with the power back on oh yeah. yeah. when do you for reading at night? you knocked leaves and they say like some bird treats homeless residence. well, gibbon and you'd guess when you get the health insurance card

visa it gives one type of card i can use it to go to the dentist, not 10 problem and 2 other doctors tune that are no problem under it. and you don't pay for anything. costello's feelings tells us how he lost his teeth from years of drug abuse and that he was given these dentures free of charge area so that he and hungry. this is unthinkable. i'm. is there anything else to got a bowl lee? i don't care where i live, whether hungry or here. here is better said become, i have no family familiar hungry is racist with crazy politicians. what do you think are crazy or automatic? they're autobahn is a horrible man. here to best that he, there is no racism or aggression here. ok, there's good money here. here's a good, a good that good, good there. and good charities. cute it's haven't. as you said,

must have been in german then to be high. so don't you haven't, haven't seen him of a few minutes. yeah. alexandra has spent the past 25 years looking after homeless people like stefan and fans. noise. that's one of the hoses. homelessness is so visible. now. self know is what's also new. are the tensions with roma, the organized speaking, the bed cloth. oh, we never had that before. it does have to be in the months might become michelle unable, 1st of all, sometimes get a call from a shop owner didn't of the asking me to come over and take in a homeless person near their business advised us and the function code to dust the century i mean, they say as it hurts our image and image and it puts off customers owens dismissed

in the stuff kind for comment about convention i believable. it sounds like they're saying come and clean up our streets comp puts or sticks to austin's old body shop. if my bill feels like people are trying to sweep the issue into the round for a 2nd, last to alexandra runs a charity association called stem fund. us through us or voice of the street charla sequester took of it. it's an extremely high pressure job, and it's white outside. dozens of people in need are waiting for hot meals in the office. alexandra and her colleagues have to organize everything for the end of year party in 2 weeks time with hundreds of homeless people. and the guest of honor has just confirmed he'll be coming to the head of stage, grand duke, only of luxembourg. it's noon and a growing stream of people arrive at alexandra soup kitchen from the area around

the railway station. most of the people in need have a migrant background, but they're also joined by long time lux and burgers. a retired nurse my side. i bet he is extremely worried about rising prices in the country and city most schmitty, even if you have a decent pension, it's getting harder and harder to lose year. yeah, i would say everything's really expensive. after even close the collider, all is every single. yeah. this is why alexander feels compelled to set up a clothing outlet one floor up. so this is everything offrey declines. i did, we get our clothes from collections that we do regularly. i'm kind of simple comment on we also created this workshop to provide jobs. oh lord, it's a push i have to get alexander's team is helping josie. rodriguez find

a sweater pants and a cab? yes, it is on the last summer, just a left his home country of portugal to come here with big hopes to put it up with the i want it to work here, but there are hardly any jobs, something for me. what kind of work do you want happen for construction so, but there's nothing to do right now. no, i don't know. he knows he'd be doing far worse. if it weren't for voice of the street. he can't afford an apartment and is currently sleeping in a shelter located above a center for drug addiction. and my income is uh in for the new luxembourg is a rich countries, but that doesn't guarantee you work at a value. because things are going downhill with the construction sector. so and if you don't have an address like me, but then you get practically 0 help from the state. no. no, no is your worst case. i'll go back to portugal.

when the construction industry was booming. here people actually say we're in big demand. now like many others, he's falling through the cracks. poverty and luxembourg is becoming increasingly visible. at the same time, the country tops the european g. d p. rankings. in 2022 looks and burgers earned an average of 119230 years. in germany, the figure was 46150, and in france 38590 euros. the young exhorts is a painter and decorator in a similar situation too. shows a he's out of work to qualify for welfare. presidents have to be $25.00 piece $20.00 to $12.00 the time give solve. it's getting difficult to find anything these

days. there are more and more foreigners coming in line called job and they get everything blown up. there are some movies in luxembourg. those are left to get by on their own work done by the art platform. let me leave. i'm fucked. there are a lot of french people coming over to work because they don't earn as much back home if you, for the in the game down and they get jobs in places less than burgers. don't stand a chance. initials, they were basically less out in the cold and they get to have a nice light is close to the and then the home, the most quiet sleep. so besides look zyden, they take care of the foreigners, but not us. you know, and that's why i say lots and burgers have been left high and dry and we can look as much as we want, but we won't find anything to do. next. no. janik is angry about increasing competition on the job market as well. just again, i'm the kind of person who likes working off. i don't want to live off the stage

often. so if i'm offered a job as a heating technician or a tyler and then i'll do it. i to lee go dogs. please leave on the i'll even if i don't have any experience as long as you can pay me some of those goods. janik isn't the only one who feels this way. many people on the street feel disadvantaged groups to being treated the time the government at their eyes opened and provided full housing benefits on the escape guns to the god. you have all these immigrants being welcomed with open arms and you don't have to be perfectly honest. our government doesn't give a damn about lots of murders or beginning exams, that emotional but they don't really do anything for us. the stuff they're doing since becoming unemployed. younique's like the to hon, gary and stuff on and fans has been making his way to alexandra soup kitchen every lunch time where he can get a hot meal for 50 cents. and

one floor off in the same building. the voice of the streets, very own newspaper team or working on their next edition. another little enterprise designed to give people like search coupler, a path back to work almost like it was good at 1st i go, i don't know how am i supposed to start writing articles so to be sure if it was good. so i got down to it and started writing the balance is at 1st at home and by hands off to give another. so the editor was really impressed with a lot of the stuff. and then they set me down at the computer over there. and i started writing should the street paper covers a range of issues from conservative politicians, demanding a ban on begging to renewable energy. sash himself mainly writes about the housing shortage with tips from editor in chief. so it was like brown. while the, some of this, this is leticia piece on it's a nice that traditional media don't cover in products and engineering is kind of,

we're in touch with people and the problems with which we learned about 1st time in this, in the 6, as long as the henry reports and the language the same people understand with their priorities and mind to do it. there's question on within that, so our strengths, we hung up this we are the voice of the street isn't such a shipment of costs sales and his colleague mary, lend fudge. are both welfare recipients. they know from personal experience what it means to be the 4 in the grand duchy of luxembourg. this the last it's shown it is tough when you don't have any money, but you can call people who do have money, can afford everything they want to spend money. but if you don't, it's difficult to get by really community. and by that's cool. the on to this scapes of, and it's not as if there's one group with everyone sticking together like no,

and includes, like, if you have the room and the poor, and there's a big divide by the, to the, to distribute the street newspaper to subscribers here in the wealthy old town area of luxembourg city like the ministry of culture and stem fun disclose with the newspapers. from salvage and maryland perspective, there's something rotten behind the sleek facade. they want the government to take action against the rising hardship. in 2022. 19.4 percent of the population face poverty or social exclusion. the sounds believes the most pressing issue is the housing market crisis. he himself

has chronic inflammatory back pain and is no longer fully fit to work. and he is also suffering from the aftermath of a sales marriage. and not the shy do i was married for 16 years, destiny. how far? and when we got divorce, i'm just confused. i had to leave our apartment hostage to you kind of what the law here says that the husband has to go. because he's still out because that's the funk of the among liskey. because he is someone who lives on social benefits known as a ready and luxembourg. it's been difficult for him to find an apartment a month on testers, place the conversation started out really relaxed as clicking i thought, when i said where i worked and what i earned. and that's technically the mood suddenly change is easy. and then the guy said no need these because rabies are considered anti social or too lazy to work, isn't to follow them to all of it. and so i can see them at the same time. so just neighborhood has become increasingly have and increasingly expensive. the federal

can here, they wants to turn this into a luxury neighborhood. there are apartments being built where you'll soon be paying 800000 euros for a 35 square meter to him flat, to but often to the house. but it's far too expensive here to tell you this tiny room is sandwiches. home. same idea. as you can see, it's pretty humble. the that there is what i survive on. the microwave that, to me go over to his 18 year old son, sleeps on the couch across the room. and this shares, single room apartment doesn't come cheap. this was, he has only been 2 months behind paying $770.00 euro is for 20 square meters. certainly i don't even have a kitchen because it's a good thing. i get along with my ex i would 50 so i can cook at her sometimes.

otherwise you'll get it just be bachelor's meals. the microwave there can't as of time because i don't know if that was interesting. so if you my mad at the government because they don't do anything, these are they do a lot of talking like spending 210000000 on new apartments, one of them. but where are they? a diesel history, the other there's so many vague and places. and so there's dancer, it's been able to, i've registered for apartments all over the place, but nothing happens to be back in the private market. is out of the question, does this my dish for alexandra. the housing shortage is an explosive issue that could divide luxembourg society even more, but she's determined to do something about it for years. so see all just had been comparing it to a ticking time bomb. a situation that politicians have been ignoring for far too

long. says antoine paku, an expert on the housing market in luxembourg. he says the main problem is an extreme concentration of land ownership and related real estate speculation, price of land, and the price of flats over time. so if i can not, this is almost a isn't offline for housing sitting here behind, acceptance owned by a small portion of the population on. that's great. on the truth. our studies show that 0.5 percent of luck, some burgers on 50 percent of the building land. also to get out alternately or about 3000 wealthy families who have inherited these extremely valuable properties that are also called april 5th. i'm, you know, they have no interest in building housing fix. yeah. can you hold it off? i mean, a said of general the classical piece. you mentioned the dynamic economic development means printer properties will increase in value by 5 or 10 percent a year. anyway. overall deciding c set depot. so over the last 8 years,

property prices have sort by 74 percent and rents by 41 percent. recently the government has started to build affordable social housing. it's a policy change that's comes far too late, says antoine pet. cool. so at the moment, the luxembourg, only 2 percent of the housing in the country is affordable housing. so this, this is extremely low for, for standards of europe, especially for neighboring countries. who have, you know, been investing in this kind of housing for the last 100 years. luxemburg is starting extremely late and from an extremely low level. so ideally, we should get this sector up to 152025 percent. he wants to see people like sash janik, angels, a spirit,

the consequences of outdated policy. patrick claim on can also speak from experience. he spent 5 years on the streets and apartment was the luxury he couldn't afford. but patrick got lucky. he pays a relatively modest $580.00 euros a month for an apartment, including a kitchen, bathroom and basement. a subsidized flat, provided by alexandra is organization, tend to be just trustworthy. i couldn't cope with the situation. i was in at the time and got involved with drugs and others. but luckily i got help from alexandra and stem fun dish to us. and of course, they said you're not an idiot. ok. and it's not too late to make something up. your life comes, that's my last i'm named vendor yet. otherwise you'll never get out of this vicious cycle and if it's highest these levels. patrick's hard to began when his ex

girlfriend died in a tragic accident. this was followed by alcohol, cocaine, and heroin abuse. is 5 single mom. i was an addict as present age, which you might not notice now is that i was deep into drugs to because of my ex is death shop to see a few that you have to even do most of this process. i went through a lot of things on the street. start, give some insulin and then there was this place you could go and you were told just you're in good hands. it comes with you and there's someone who will listen to you . i'm yet. patrick's been clean for 14 years and now spends his afternoons working for the voice of the street pointed without them. i'd still be on the street with a rather i wouldn't be here and i'm grateful for their help. difficulties don't voice up. the street also runs this laundry and has a working arrangement with a major supermarket chain.

again, we pick up fruits and vegetables, everything and bring it here. and once we've checked it, we distributed among various groups of toner. every day michelle con righty drives to the biggest supermarket in luxembourg. it's located in the wealthy business district of the capital's carriage bank area. he collects food right before it expires with the help of volunteers. mendoza. i'm retired and used to be in charge of environmental issues at the store . don't just done with care about sustainability and social issues as opposed we can't allow food to end up in the trash on a visa,

it's better to donate it to people in the sun. you know, this was the don't maybe put this in in when i was a manager here because this guy always told alexandra that when i retired, i'd help out as a volunteer with one adviser, most young guys. and that's how i ended up inch. demons on this task, simple this list, they need volunteers. and this is my way of making a small contribution. to ask you spell, they put the trouble cuts off the food recycling system, which insures the coal chain is maintained, was introduced by deedee local, your voice. if the street is largely funded by tax payers, but donations are also important. a

group of managers from the big retail company has just arrived for a visit. i need to focus people. okay. and let's go, that's good for these visitors, have donated a vacuum ceiling machine and are thinking about becoming more involved they'll pick up to get the funds on the 14 tons of food in mind to function. and that's how bad it to 14 tons that don't get thrown away and get used in our soup kitchens. they make 800 meals a day across the country. and they'll say this to all. the kitchens are stuffed by people who used to be unemployed. a lot of them are refugees, like how soon do the me and get out to use those guys from the side. some headed up to

2015, but i'm the director. you are, can some companies here they learn the skills that will prepare them for the local job market? one story above. alexandra is reading some disturbing news. initially they'll never succeed with that. and they tried it last time. no way. 9 people come to the store. the government has passed a band on begging to beaten that and been disabled. and if it's banned, empty, lots of people will be forced into a life of crime with difficulty with the sale. if there's a shifting the problem somewhere else, the pin, the, what else would i didn't do, but we'll still see the people either at gas stations or in supermarkets. but what

they're really saying is, we don't want poor people in the old town where the rich people are just you high school or to of how does that come before? i feel like don't keep hold a fighting when mills comes. i've gotten used to this over the last 25 years. yeah . but we've never had this many people before. what size is a sophie? we need funding to be able to function with the comments on like the colors the next day. alexandra has a couple of very high profile visitors, arriving for the voice at the streets end of year celebration. the grand duke and his wife the head of state, face to face with people who are unemployed, living in poverty and with addiction. for alexandra, it's the most important and symbolic moment of the year.

400 people in need had gathered here more than any previous year. d g and other volunteers are on hand to serve the food and drinks for the secure i want to be since he cannot be packed. so then i'm for me personally, we don't pay these people enough attention. you will not and don't talk about them enough. yeah. for sure, we have a lot of volunteers, but there aren't enough people. we need to do more. the grand duke of the takes a seat at the 1st table right across from janik the he's eager to tell the monarch about things from his perspective. property prizes used to be lower and now they just keep on going up. yes, i suppose the housing market is

a huge problem. you all send them corners, get more than luck, some burgers. i don't think that's right. and i told them that i also said, i hope things change here is obviously just because it can go on like this people, the unit is angry or at immigrants, then the government even though it's the government that hasn't done anything about the whitening gulf between the rich and the poor the minister of social security is also one of the guests. what does she have to say about the housing shortage? it's economic. i'm the, the law of supply and demand on this email. it doesn't always work out on its own. so you need initiatives to regulate the market, so they have, they've been successful. not yet. alexandra says that imposing

a band on bagging is fighting the poor instead of fighting poverty. here in the wealthiest country in europe, the police said guns at almost the guns, but of course, luxembourg can't eliminate poverty around the world. i know that but i'm not a politician. besides, i try to help people who are in a bad place and yeah, and if we lock some burgers aren't able to help people who are suffering then which country can some kind of the an increasing trend in europe,
